San-J International is aware of the sensitive nature that exists for celiacs and those who suffer from gluten intolerance. Since our facility processes other products containing wheat, San-J has implemented specific sanitation methods in an effort to prevent cross contamination of wheat in our Organic Wheat Free Tamari Soy Sauce and Organic Wheat Free Reduced Sodium Tamari Soy Sauce.

In addition, we test each batch of Organic Wheat Free Tamari and Organic Wheat Free Reduced Sodium Tamari for the presence of gluten. Samples are also sent to an outside laboratory every six months as a means of confirming the reliability of our tests.

Currently, the FDA has not established a definition or threshold for the term gluten free nor has it developed a set of rules permitting its use.

The Codex Alimentarius Commission, an international advisory committee that promotes uniform food guidelines and standards, had proposed a recommended threshold limit as the definition for foods that are gluten free. Test results show that San-J’s Organic Wheat Free Tamari falls within this proposed range.

San-J Organic Wheat Free Tamari and Organic Wheat Free Reduced Sodium Tamari are made in a plant inspected by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization. For more information on this group, please visit www.gfco.org.
